Radiosa in Corsa

An evening race in the heart of Cancello Scalo

Radiosa in Corsa is a road running race held in Cancello Scalo, the most populous district of the Municipality of San Felice a Cancello, in the province of Caserta, Campania. The format follows the classic style of amateur running in Southern Italy: a late-evening start, when the July heat finally begins to fade, and a course that winds through the town streets, transformed for a few hours into a race circuit. The event headquarters is Piazza Castra Marcelli, the civic heart of the district, where athletes gather, pick up their race bibs, and return after the final kilometer.

The course: ten kilometers closed to traffic

The distance is 10 kilometers, the standard benchmark for amateur circuits in Campania, set on a flat, single-loop course. It is a race well-suited both to trained runners aiming for a personal best and to those running a competitive distance for the first time: no challenging climbs, a steady rhythm, and clearly marked kilometer points along the route.

One of the event's defining features is its focus on safety. The circuit is entirely closed to traffic and monitored by local police, civil protection, volunteers, and organizational staff, with medical assistance guaranteed throughout the route. In an area where road running often means contending with daily traffic, the choice of a protected loop has a value that goes beyond the race itself: it is a message of road safety aimed at the entire community.

Organizers: Radiosa Primavera and Viviamo Cancello

• ASD Radiosa Primavera — the sports group that promotes the event and has worked for years in the area to spread the culture of running as a sport for everyone;
• Viviamo Cancello socio-cultural association — a local organization based in Piazza Castra Marcelli, dedicated to animating the district, which supports the event with festivities and hospitality;
• Municipality of San Felice a Cancello — which grants patronage to the event and collaborates on road closures and safety services.

The final party in the square

Radiosa in Corsa does not end at the finish line. The race pack includes a personalized bib, chip timing, refreshment stations, and medical assistance, but above all, a final pizza party that brings runners, families, and spectators together in the square at the end of the evening. Awards are given to the largest teams and the top finishers in each category, with trophies and cash prizes: a way to thank the groups arriving from across the province of Caserta and the nearby Naples area.

This dual nature—a real, timed, and regulated race, but also a local festival open to non-runners—is what distinguishes the event from purely competitive trials. Those who stay on the sidelines still get to enjoy a lively evening in the square, with the race passing by repeatedly before the eyes of the public.

San Felice a Cancello, gateway to the Suessola Valley

San Felice a Cancello is located at the southern edge of the province of Caserta, near the border with the Naples and Benevento areas. Cancello Scalo owes its name to the railway station, an important hub connecting to Naples, Caserta, and the Caudina Valley, which has made the district the most dynamic center of the Municipality. It is a land of plains and cultivated hills, where sports and volunteer associations play a strong role in daily life: events like this are born from that very fabric.

Who is it for?

• Registered runners looking for a fast and well-organized 10km race in Campania;
• Amateur runners and beginners, thanks to the flat and protected course;
• Families and residents, who follow the race and join the final party in Piazza Castra Marcelli;

The number of participants is capped to ensure course safety: it is therefore advisable to follow the organization's channels and register early as soon as registration opens.
